Jake Fischer: The Knicks are still open to my understanding in finding front court depth. They got their backup guard in Jose Alvarado. Could they find a nice young center there? We'll see. I mean, I think one of the more intriguing big men on the buyout market right now is Chris Boucher. He'll have some interest as a vet minimum guy. He might be the best shooting big man available you can add. George Niang will be available. He needs to get healthy, but George Niang is going to be someone who can provide some front court shooting help.

Grant Afseth: The Memphis Grizzlies plan to waive Georges Niang to make room for Eric Gordon from the Philadelphia 76ers, sources told @DALHoopsJournal.

Andy Larsen: All of these players were at Jazz shootaround this morning, definitely DID NOT see this coming.

Teague tried the test himself on a recent episode of his “Club 520” podcast. His run didn’t start out so well, with former teammates PJ Tucker, Georges Niang, and Josh Okogie all ignoring his calls. But Teague eventually got Niang to pick up on the second try and also received a callback from John Lucas III. The real test came when Teague, who played on the Celtics in the 2020-21 season, gave Tatum a call. Tatum picked up after just a few rings. “Oh, we lit! I was the better teammate!” Teague joked after his brief conversation with Tatum.
